100%cornish Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Good Luck to Phil ,Leeds Utd was right this time well done .St Blazey was a force this year and would of continued to be if they didnt balls things up ,I will definitly be down Blazey a lot when the football restarts i think Brokes and Eddy will go to Blazey but dont know if Slates will because Saltash will win more trophies than Blazey and a fully fit Liam Eddy will be a asset but what i have seen of him hes not the player he once was .Be interesting to see what sort of team Blazey have but it will certainly be a strong one with Mr Lafferty in charge . Hope they do well also hoping the G Stay up but they cant rely on Covid to keep them up again for a 2nd season .Football cant come back quick enough for me its bloody boring without it .

MattP Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Think you’ll probably find players will be turning down more money elsewhere to go to play for Phil Lafferty. I suspect more than a few managers will be worried that a bloke with his reputation and pull is back in the local game.

I think the pull is the money Matt! 😂😂 Regardless if Phil can get them top of the tree & set the standard which I'm sure he will then its down to the rest to aspire to that level or source a better commercial department. Either way it's down to whoever is top for the rest to catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruegel the Elder Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Laffs return to Blaise Park will undoubtedly be easier than his previous involvement as assistant to Glynn Hooper. The Committee has changed somewhat. I don’t know who their sugar daddy is nowadays but I hope the longer serving officers/members have equally long memories! Personally, I wish him, and the Club the very best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobjfh Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Just a question, really, for those who know Mr Lafferty’s background far more than me. He is an exceptionally well regarded manager / coach in local football and has had great success, but has that been through bringing together a squad of ‘marque’ players, obviously at a cost - or through developing players to make great teams? I only ask with the rumours as to who may go to St Blazey, as most of the names mentioned are the same old names (good players though they are/were) that appear every year who seem to jump to the best paying team - or perhaps he is the type or manager who looks to ‘build’ a great squad. I mean disrespect to any involved - just wondering what to expect at Blaize Park when we finally resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laffs is a good judge of players and the way the game should be played. It will be interesting to see what happens when football restarts. Oh you do need money..... Although spending it isn't a guarantee of success. BUT almost all good players will know their worth TheolderIgetthebetterIwas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I know is that it will be a totally different squad to last season, with all the players sticking with the departing managers to go onto pastures new. Can’t see any of the 2nd team moving up. He can only try and get the best players that the budget allows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philheybrookbay Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Im guessing this will be the push for promotion to step 5 for St Blazey? After all, post 1 normal season which was to have been 2019/2020 if a club refuses then its automatic relegation from memory. The option out only applies for that first full season.

leedsunited Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Very Shrewd appointment by Phi£ getting Lee Phillips on board. With Lees Connections with the Saltash players, plus Phi£ being able to tap in to Glyn Hooper for promising youngsters, with an competitive budget I can see St. Blazey favourites to win the title next season.

I think what St. Blazey have done should be highly commended, brought in someone who can bring back the good name of the football club, & take it away from the 'pub' set up where 'anything goes' in previous years. Obviously with Phi£s resources they will be very very competitive but I'm sure if you were to ask any 'local' football follower that question they would all agree.

teflon123 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Must have some budget there if he has agreed to take on the role. Might be wrong but sure he’s only managed 1 team whose budget was through the roof for the period he was in charge, that said, he deliver success so deserves credit there. Is getting Lee Philips in is a master stroke to? Don't get me wrong, was a great player and will give experience but claims are he used to walk out on regular occasions when at Saltash. Be interesting to see how many players come via a Glynn Hooper connection, likely you might see a lot of Cornwall schools players in the squad with a few older heads who are currently on the peninsula circuit.

Bruegel the Elder Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I do hope you’re right Teflon, at least about the players. St. Blazey have been east of the Tamar for far too many years as far as the playing squad are concerned, the managers as well on many occasions. They used to train in Devon a couple of years back to save anyone having to travel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernowfooty Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Laffs top bloke and manager, will do very well there, I doubt we will see Blazey in the spotlight for the wrong reasons with him in charge. I know first hand that Laffs creates an environment where the players know who is in charge, they will respect that and it will show on and off the pitch.

iand Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 With the League now finished, it will give the new man time to reassess the situation and plan for August, with only 7 players remaining and the reserves to fall back on the Senior Cup might be worth a try. Could get a decent crowd for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of the names mentioned including will Tinsley and Jordan dingle are some of the best players in this league. And would probably get in most sides in the league above aswell. Laffs needs to get a strong core in place and have youth to go along side that much as st austell did last season keeping a few older heads and promoting young talented lads into the first team Laffs will know what he's doing and he'll put together a very strong squad I'd be very surprised if they don't get at least top 3 Lafs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
